Empirical Analysis of BRICS countries pathway toward Low-carbon environment

CAT methodical approaches six critical areas in assessing every country's commitment to Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) to the Paris Agreement and UNFCCC protocols. Table 1 explains these six criteria of CAT assessment. To provide policy makers, civil society, and the media with an up-to-date assessment of countries' individual reduction targets and a global overview of their combined effects, the Climate Action Tracker (CAT) project was launched in 2009. All of this is being done in order to make these pledges more transparent and to encourage those governments that haven't made them yet to do so. In addition, CAT assesses whether countries are on track to meet their commitments with current implemented policies.

气候行动追踪器（Climate Action Tracker, CAT）采用系统化方法，从六大关键领域评估各国对《巴黎协定》及《联合国气候变化框架公约》（UNFCCC）相关议定书框架下国家自主贡献方案（Nationally Determined Contributions, NDC）的履约承诺。表1详细阐释了CAT评估的六项标准。为向政策制定者、民间社会组织及媒体提供各国自主减排目标的最新评估结果，以及全球范围内各国减排目标叠加效应的整体概览，CAT项目于2009年正式启动。所有此类工作均旨在提升相关减排承诺的透明度，并敦促尚未作出此类承诺的政府尽快作出相关承诺。此外，CAT还会结合各国当前已实施的政策，评估其是否处于兑现履约承诺的正轨之上。
